Extrait :

Louis Kahn (1901-1974) is regarded as one of the greatest, most influential architects of the twentieth century. He designed important and significant buildings with a great sense of space, light and material. His buildings uplift and inspire the people in them.

Among Kahn’s major works are the Salk Institute (California), the Kimbell Art Museum (Texas), the Indian Institute of Management (India), and the Assembly Buildings for the Bangladeshi Parliament (Bangladesh). He designed these projects in the 1950s and 1960s at a time when the conviction of architects that their mission was to improve society was enormous. Kahn’s influence can be seen in the work of important architects such as Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, James Stirling, Mario Botta and Tadao Ando.
